Fringe30 - the party begins!

Three's Company

Buxton Festival Fringe is 30 years old in 2009 and we are so excited about it that we are starting the celebrations early with a special Fringe30 gala show at Buxton Opera House on Friday Nov 7th 2008.

The show which begins at 7:30pm features past and present Buxton Festival Fringe award winners and is hosted by the engaging singer/songwriter Sam Dunkley. On the line-up are performances by Three's Company, Amaretti Chamber Orchestra, actor George Telfer, Spiltmilk Dance, comedian Tam Hinton and singer Katuš. There will also be a chance to see Matt 'Lab Monkey' Pritchard and the Shakespeare Jukebox providing roving magic and Shakespeare throughout the evening plus a free visual arts exhibition open from 6:30pm.

Tickets for this fabulous event are £8 (concessions, including Friends of the Fringe, £2 off) and are available from the Opera House Box Office on 0845 1272190.

Why not contribute to our Discussion Board. We are currently collecting people's memories of 30 years of the Fringe but there is also a general discussion area for all your news and views.

More people than ever have signed up to join our growing band of Friends of the Fringe.

As a charity run entirely by volunteers we are always looking for new blood. See how you can help.
